### Creating the database.Create a new database, the server should automatically create all required tables if it can login and the needed privilegies are granted.

### Configuring the serverTo make your server use your MySQL database, edit your *settings.xml* to at least contain the following settings - of course, replace the example values with the MySQL data to connect to the server.

<!-- Registration --> <setting name="@players.allow_registration" value="1"/><!-- Change to 0 to disable registration and show an error message --> <setting name="@players.registration_error_message" value="Edit this to show the user a message when registration is disabled"/> </settings>

## MTA Server configuration

### Obtaining the resourcesTo get started, clone either the [main repository](git://github.com/marcusbauer/mta-paradise.git) or your fork into *mods/deathmatch*. It should already come with all configuration files required.

### LinuxIf you are using a linux server, edit your *mods/deathmatch/mtaserver.conf* and replace

<module src="mta_mysql.dll"/>

with

<module src="mta_mysql.so"/>

### WindowsYou need to copy the file *mods/deathmatch/modules/libmysql.dll* to your *MTA Server* directory (the one with MTA Server.exe in it)
